Pretty sure he replied to your post as an example of what you suggested about people's priorities not being in order with regard to player safety.

Ok.

From the camera angle you can see the defender attempts to push the shooter. From the Lead's angle, the amount of contact is a lot easier to discern.

That's why I said from the camera angle

Well when a player does something unnatural or something they would not normally do with their body and contact took place, then it is a foul. We can always suggest that it did not change anything, but a player does not bow their back to make a normal shot. It would not be surprised me if he missed the shot, but he didn't and I am not waiting in this instance to see, so I called the foul. It is not always about the severity of the contact. Ironically I was back at the same school and we had several plays with much more contact and legal defenders and we called nothing in those cases.

Peace
